All Aboard!

I have to think that convincing the up-until-yesterday president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture - who was publicly critical of the Green Shift just a few days ago - to run for the Liberals is going to make it a teensy bit trickier for Jason Kenney

I guess Bob Friesen liked the Green Shift modifications. So much for the "hurting the poor farmer" angle.

Speaking of silly angles, I guess the "Liberals in eastern Canada afraid to run on the Green Shift" theme might have to be scratched off too:

The deputy leader of Nova Scotia's Liberal party says she is considering a jump to federal politics. Diana Whalen says she is strongly considering running in the federal riding of Halifax, which has been held by New Democrat Alexa McDonough since 1997.

She says she will mull over her options with advisors before making a decision at the end of the week — a federal election call is expected by the weekend for Oct. 14.

Yesterday, the "soft on crime" theme took a hit, now today's developments.

How many Liberals have taken early retirement with the Conservatives in Power, or better yet, since Dion became leader? Liberals are the last to talk about a sinking ship. Must be a really slow day for you guys.

Nobody is getting arrogant, quit attaching your own bias. What is relevant, all the former HOWLS about Liberals running from the Green Shift (see Sparrow), all the stories about how many people have retired. What we see here is merely a counter to that nonsense, not to mention the attraction of strong candidates.
